Twitter can be intimidating to new users. The same can be said for experienced users. A timeline is only as good as the content you follow, and even then, you may miss the good bits over the course of a day unless you commit to scrolling through every single tweet.

So the company is introducing Highlights, push notifications that put what's hopefully interesting content directly into your notification shade.

To determine what to send you, Twitter looks at what is popular among the people you follow, events trending in your area, and tweets from people you're close with.

Since this can get annoying quick, Twitter lets you opt in to the service. You can then set Highlights to show up to twice daily. They will pop up in their own interface, which you can navigate by swiping right to left.

At launch, Highlights are only available in English. And in what is a break from recent occurrences, the feature is only available on Android for the time being. Twitter will consider bringing it to other platforms in the future.

Whut? Android only? What's happening? Not that I don't like it or anything hah

Seems unnecessary. Now I don't user twitter like most people. Account is protected, I've never tweeted. Just follow. So this an the discover tab are still useless as ever.

The discover tab is gone and you don't need to opt into this.

Its a nice addition, i can see the trending tweet easily

miri

It replaces the "Who to follow" button with something that's actually useful. I approve.

Twitter keeps sending me random notifications that I don't know how to turn off. Seriously, getting woken up at 3 am because %username% that I don't follow and %username% that I also don't follow have retweeted a third %username% that I still don't follow.
I only want to know when my own account gets mentioned or retweeted, why the hell can't I make that happen?

miri

I believe it's the "recommendations" setting under mobile notifications.

Ezhik

I have everything but mentions, retweets, and DMs off, though.

miri

Odd I'd recently disabled that and I don't think I've received one of those notifications since. Maybe it's a bug or one just hasn't been triggered yet.

Why can't they quit with this bullshit?

I know this is off topic, but i've been having this trouble recently and i can't understand how to solve it.

I want to use my twitter account on two different devices, and whenever i log in into the second device, somehow the first device kicks out the account and restarts, and when i try to log in from the first device, it shows me a toast that says "Cannot create account" (this being, while i'm still logged into the second device)
